Because I'm somewhere in between,
My love and my agony.
Some are very pro-nationalistic.......maybe a bit too much, and what's a better example of that than Hitler?
It's VERY disturbing. Don't underestimate these Chinese students...they can become quite dangerous if they want to, now that the country's pretty much brainwashed them nicely. Tiananmen is way in the past now.
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
1. You were/are a good student with very high GPAs.
Good student - yes. High GPA in 2nd degree but not 1st degree - depends on what you mean by 'high'.
2. You majored in something practical like engineering, medicine or finance
Biomedicine, Chinese Medicine actually. A rebel within the idealistic 'medicine' career.
3. You have more than one-college degree, especially more than one Master's.
Yes, planning to do a Masters or PhD.
4. If you play a musical instrument, it must be piano
Would like to play one...maybe the Qin.
5. You have a vinyl table cloth on your kitchen table.
We have a glass table . No point with table cloth, lose beauty of the glass.
6. Your stove is covered with aluminum foil.
Yes, a practical practice.
7. Your kitchen has a sticky film of grease over it.
What? So that all manner of debris and filth can adhere and remain in the kitchen. Who on Earth would do that?
8. You beat eggs with chopsticks.
Yes.
9. You always leave outdoor shoes at the door
That's a traditional Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese practice. It's etiquette rather than evidence to show if you're Asian or not.
10. You use the dishwasher as a dish rack. You keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times.
Our dishwasher has been dysfunctional since a time I don't remember. Yes to therms of hot water.
12. You boil water before drinking
Only if visiting overseas...sensible practice. I'd find it strange that people wouldn't if travelling...GIT viruses are not very desirable while trying to enjoy a holiday.
13. You eat all meals in the kitchen to keep your dining room clean.
What non-sense is that? What would be the point of the dining room then.
14. You don't use measuring cups when preparing foods.
Depends what I'm cooking. But don't best cooks work by instinct? That's like saying most professional chefs are Asian.
15. You save grocery bags and use them to hold garbage.
Most grocery bags aren't large enough as garbage bags.
16. You have a rice cooker.
Yep.
17. You're a wok user.
I find it funny how so little people on this thread don't know what a wok is. But yes, we use a wok.
]18. You fight over who pays the dinner bill.
'A A yay' (shared billed) is actually quite common in the Canto/HK/ABC Asian community. And from the type of questions asked, it seems very Canto/HK/ABC traditions based. So I don't know who still fights over dinner bills these days, except for the older generation.
19. You wash rice 2-3 times before cooking it.
Yep.
20. You make sounds when you have a bowl of soup
I never heard of such an Asian eating etiquette. Sounds like deliberate rudeness.
21. You don't dry-clean clothes, even if they need to be dry-cleaned.
Why on Earth not? Wouldn't that ruin the clothes specified to be dry-cleaned?
22. You iron your own shirts
Nope.
23. You like congee with thousand year old eggs.
Not my favourite, but once in long while yes.
24. You always cook yourself, even if you hate it.
What a nightmare that would be!
25. You use credit cards, and pay monthly bills in full
Sometimes.
26. You do either soccer, swimming, badminton,volleyball, basketball, or ping pong, and have an obsession with making the Beijing Olympics
Martial arts actually. I don't dig the Olympics.
27. You buy Christmas cards after Christmas, when they are 50ff.
E-Xmas cards are the way to go these days.
28. When you hand wash dishes, you only use cold water.
Hell no.
29. You hate to waste food a) Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them.You have Tupperware in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chicken wing.
I eat very small amounts, so leaving such leftovers would be considered a sensible meal to me.
30. You don't own any real Tupperware-only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, takeout containers, and jam jars.
I love Tupperware. Crime not to own Tupperware.
32. When toilet paper is on sale, you buy 100 rolls and store them.
What is the obssession with toilet paper?
33. You have a collection of miniature shampoo/conditioner bottles and little soap bars that you take every time you stay in a hotel
If only I was that organised.
34. The condiments in your fridge are either Price Club sized or come in plastic packets, which you save every time you get take out or go to McDonald's
Why would anyone keep condiments from fast food?
35. You carry a stash of your own food whenever you travel (and travel means any car ride longer than 15 minutes
I would if I could. Snacking boosts metabolism and is considered part of 'healthy eating' these days. Alas, not dedicated enough to keep own food with me at all times.
36. You spit bones and other food scraps on the table
That's positively archaic. Although, I have seen it at formal Chinese dinners.
37. Your dad thinks he can fix everything himself.
I fix everything myself.
38. When you go to a dance party, there is always a group of guys surrounding the dance floor trying to look cool.
I don't go to dance parties.
39. Your house/apartment is always cold in winter, and hot in summer.
Does that suggest Asian houses don't have temperature regulation, heaters, and ACs? Who on Earth wrote these questions? Some a pure silliness.
40. Your Mom drives her Mercedes to Foodtown, or Shoppers Food Warehouse regardless how far it is, even if the dairy is next door.
My mom doesn't like Mercedes.
41. You always look phone numbers up in the phone book, since calling Directory Assistance costs 50 cents
That's what a cell is for.
42. You only make long distance calls after 11pm or during weekends
That's what distance call cards are for.
43. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached.
Depends how it is cooked.
44. You never call your parents just to say hi
What a waste of resources. I suppose this questions refers to if you rarely see your parents. Don't most Asians either live close or with their parents.
A very non-Asian criteria if you ask me.
45. You think ONLY Japanese can make good CARS!
Don't know enough about cars to comment.
46. You use a colored face cloth every morning.
A non-Asian would use an un-coloured face cloth? White is a colour too. So how would one find in a general store or supermarket an 'un-coloured' face cloth?
47. You starve yourself before going to all-you-can-eat places.
What a silly practice. Starving yourself may not necessarily increase your appetite either. Appetisers do that.
48. Almost all your money is in a savings account
Only if you have no idea what financial management is. Wasn't one of the early questions about Asians choosing finance as a career? How contraindicating.
49. You never discuss your love life with your parents.
I think this would apply to anyone, regardless of cultural background. Purely depends on how open you are with your folks.
50. You take this message post it in your own blog for all your Azn friends to see.
I don't have my own blog. Most of my friends aren't Asian.
I only did this 'survey' because I'm bored out of my mind at the moment. I really found it some questions quite silly and non-Asian.
Besides, I'm 2nd generation Eurasian anyway, so I don't count .

日暮乡关何处是?烟波江上使人愁。
Stupidest thing I ever heard.
Most of my mainland chinese friends don't care about Tibet that much. They know Tibet will not separate from china.2. You spend all your effort tracking down a Pro-Tibet poster on the internet, planning to murder his entire family.
Again, stupid comment.3. When someone accidentally steps on your foot at a bus stop, you follow him to his home and stab him to death.
Most of my mainland chinese friends are very open about food. They eat all kinds of food. Most of them like western food as well.4. You think China is the best thing since sliced tofu, much better than US and the industrialized countries.
Before I read about his biography from wikipeda, I always thought Hitler was either, or combination of, a drug addict, womanizer, gambling addict, alcoholic, an abusive husband and father, blaming others for his wrong doing, and always use his race card like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I never imagine he could be a war hero.5. You think Hitler is a great man.

...and the #1 falesafe way to know ur asian
Walk down Skid Row in Los Angeles....if you hear someone calling you "Chink" or any other asian derogatory term...then
you "AZN!!!"
Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."

I've never really associated Asians with being illiterate and talking like a retard.
